    Theoretical predictions for how temperature affects the dynamics of interacting herbivores and plants

    Concern about climate change has spurred experimental tests of how warming affects species’ abundance and performance. As this body of research grows, interpretation and extrapolation to other species and systems have been limited by a lack of theory. To address the need for theory for how warming affects species interactions, we used consumer-prey models and the metabolic theory of ecology to develop quantitative predictions for how systematic differences between the temperature dependence of heterotrophic and autotrophic population growth lead to temperature-dependent herbivory.
